Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of King Henry VII on the reverse side, who was the first Tudor king of England and ruled from 1485 to 1509. This is unusual as most coins feature images of Queen Elizabeth II, who is the current monarch. The inclusion of King Henry VII's image on this coin may have been done to commemorate the 500th anniversary of his accession to the throne, which occurred in 2009.
